Staff Product Designer

What we are building at Conveo

• Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high quality consumer / B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Orange use our AI video interviewer to across insights, marketing, and product teams.

• This role can sit in either our London or Antwerp office .

• We’re looking for our first senior design hire — a Staff Product Designer who will own product design end-to-end and help define how AI-native research tools should feel. This is a rare opportunity to shape an entire product category from the ground up.

• One thing worth knowing upfront: we don't have dedicated product managers. Product thinking is a shared discipline here — engineers talk directly to customers, and you'll be right in that mix. If that excites you more than it scares you, read on.

• You’ll work directly with the founders, the engineering team, and customers to craft thoughtful, intuitive experiences that make complex workflows feel simple, clear, and delightful.

What you’ll do

• Deliver high-quality, user-centered designs that evolve Conveo’s core product surfaces and elevate the overall experience.

• Design, prototype, and test new AI-powered workflows — from interview setup to insight synthesis — making complicated research feel effortless.

• Shape the future of AI-assisted research tools , exploring new interaction models beyond current SaaS patterns.

• Turn ambiguous, high-impact problems into concrete products — from early vision, to roadmap, to launch.

• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and leadership to define both long-term strategy and near-term execution.

• Craft high-quality UI and interaction design that sets the bar for design excellence at Conveo.

• Lead design reviews and contribute to a strong culture of feedback, iteration, and craft.

• Help establish the foundations of our design system, processes, and product design culture as our first designer.

• Minimum requirements

• 8+ years of relevant product design experience at a product-driven tech company or high-velocity startup.

• A portfolio demonstrating strong design fundamentals, polished UI craft, and thoughtful end-to-end product thinking.

• Experience partnering closely with cross-functional teams to shape product direction.

• Ability to balance user needs, business goals, and multiple stakeholder inputs.

• Skilled at communicating design decisions clearly and persuasively across disciplines.

• Strong ability to influence product strategy and raise the design bar across the company.

• Comfortable presenting work to company leadership through a clear and compelling story.

• Experience working on ambiguous, complex problems spanning multiple product areas.

Preferred qualifications

• Excitement about designing for AI-native products and strong opinions about what makes a great AI experience.

• Experience designing tools for technical or expert users (researchers, analysts, builders, etc.).

• Comfort prototyping quickly — whether in Figma, code, or with AI tools — and leading through experimentation.

• Ability to craft and advocate for new design patterns and interaction models beyond existing design systems.

• Startup experience (or a strong desire to build in a small, fast-moving team).

• Passion for helping others grow and raising design maturity across the organization.

• Why this role is special

• This is not a “slot into an org chart” design role.

• As Conveo’s first designer, you will:

• Define the product design function from scratch

• Shape how AI and humans collaborate in research

• Build experiences that feel trustworthy, elegant, and deeply human

• Have direct influence over the company’s direction and taste

• Why Join Us?

• Work with the latest AI models at the cutting edge of what's possible.

• Work at a hyper-growth, Y Combinator-backed startup where speed and impact matter.

• Collaborate with a team that is obsessed with excellence and execution.

• Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity (stock options) with real upside.

• Hybrid working model with offices in London, Antwerp, and New York. We like to stick to 3 days a week.

• Company socials (rooftop drinks, dinners, sports, run clubs).

• Summer and winter off-sites: Past locations have been Austria and Las Vegas, and Portugal! 🥳

• Private health insurance.

• Enhanced employer pension contribution.

• Earn up to $5,000 for every successful candidate you refer.

• If you want to build the future of AI-powered knowledge work — and do the best design work of your career — we’d love to talk.
